Administration IP Chief Ready for Feedback on Development of 2016 Enforcement Plan

Daniel Marti, the White House Office of Management and Budget’s intellectual property enforcement coordinator, just approved a notice for the Federal Register soliciting feedback on what should go into the 2016 joint strategic plan on IP enforcement, he told attendees of the Technology Policy Institute meeting here in Aspen, Colorado, Monday. “Most if not all” of what went into the administration’s 2013 plan is “evergreen in nature,” Marti said. He anticipates the notice will be posted in the Federal Register in the next week or two, he said. Marti emphasized the interest in collecting data and hopes the 2016 plan continues “to be data-driven,” he said. When considering legacy achievements for his position, Marti mentioned the development of a three-year plan for IP “the deliverable that is most on my mind.”
